摘要： An illumination system of a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus comprises an array of mirrors or similar beam deflection elements. Each mirror of the array illuminates in a system pupil surface a single spot having a position that can be varied. A method of controlling the array comprises the steps of: determining a target intensity distribution in the system pupil surface; determining an arrangement of spots in the system pupil surface that approximates the target intensity distribution; determining a function assigned to a mirror and describing a relationship between positions of the spot illuminated by the mirror on the one hand and the deflection angle produced by the mirror when illuminating the light spots on the other hand; determining deflection angles that are necessary to obtain the arrangement of spots by using the function; and supplying control signals to the mirrors such that the deflection angles determined before are produced.

摘要： A diffractive optical element (156) is configured to be inserted into a light beam path of an illumination system (112) of a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus (10) such that it produces a desired intensity distribution in a system pupil surface (154) of the illumination system, wherein a Fourier transform of an angular distribution produced by the diffractive optical element (156) differs from the desired intensity distribution.
